Their venue, Cafe Julia, is a historic building in downtown Honolulu. Its architect, Julia Morgan was one of only a handful of woman architects in America during the 1920’s and the first female architect in Hawaii when she first began designing the building. Morgan is best known for designing the Hearst Castle in San Simeon, California. Cafe Julia's beautiful architecture lends to a naturally elegant and timeless feel.
